Have You Seen This New OPPO With A Round Pop-Up Selfie Camera?

OPPO recently patented a unique selfie pop-up camera. OPPO p atents a phone with a round pop-up selfie camera. The camera module contains a round pop-up selfie camera and a triple camera setup. The patent was filed with the  World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO)  in early 2020. Which contains a semi-circular pop-up camera and triple setup camera. The above image shows that the semi-circular pop-up camera hides inside the smartphone along with a triple rare camera. In fact from the above image, we can conclude that both the rare and front cameras connect.

There is speculation for 15x hybrid zoom. However, these are only speculations and not confirmed by the company.

This New WhatsApp Feature Will Wow You

In a post on the WhatsApp blog, the company has announced that digital payments for people and small businesses have just started. That is to say that  WhatsApp now has a new big feature, which is person-to-person payments. It’s just gone live in the past few hours, though only in one country right now: Brazil. Brazil for now is only the first step, obviously, and although no promises have been made of the feature making its way north to the U.S. or to other countries, it’s highly likely it will. This mirrors the way WhatsApp became so dominant in the first place - its multi-platform presence. Brilliant though the Messages app on iPhone is - and even though it’s probably about to see  a big upgrade announced by Apple in the coming days, its best experience is across Apple devices. Features such as invisible ink text, animated balloons and more are only visible on iPhone and iPad, for instance.

Facebook Has Added A Second Layer Of Protection To Messenger's Inbox, Making It More Secured With Face ID

Messenger -- Facebook is really trying to make it private (that only you and Facebook should have access to the theoretically private conversations contained within).   Facebook is testing new ways to secure its app, specifically on an unspecified number of iOS devices, the social-media giant has added a second layer of protection to Messenger's inbox. If enabled, users will need to either re-enter their passcode, or engage Touch ID or Face ID before they can read all their juicy messages.  This is the idea behind the change -- If someone gets access to your unlocked device, this security feature provides an additional barrier that will prevent the bad actor from reading your Messenger messages. Engadget was able to get a statement from a Facebook spokesperson, although there's not much there.  The spokesperson said, "We want to give people more choices and controls to protect their private messages, and recently, we began testing a feature that lets you unlock the Messeng

The First Smartphone With A 'Gimbal' Camera System

Vivo just launched new flagship smartphones on Monday - The X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+.  The X50 Pro and X50 Pro+ comes with a feature never seen on a phone before. It's called the 'Gimbal Camera System,' and it's a tiny gimbal module, "modeled after actual gimbals," Vivo says. The GCS moves the camera in the opposite direction of shaking motions, providing clearer handheld shots. Vivo says the system widens the rotation angle, as well as the anti-shake area, compared to other stabilization methods. That means it should be able to compensate for some very jerky movements. The results, the company claims, should be "super clear images." The X50 Pro and X50 Pro+ both have a quad camera setup on the back, with a periscope lens that allows up to 60x optical/digital zoom mix. Only the X50 Pro+, however, has Samsung's 50-megapixel 1/1.3-inch ISOCELL GN1 sensor as its primary camera, notable for Dual Pixel/Tetracell tech, which should help produce very
